visit Rouses Point. The wind was blow
ing strongly from the northeast, and the
boats separated soon after leaving the
island, Mr. Hill standing out toward the
Cha2y shore, and the boa. in question,
sailed by Mr.. Bell, lacking nCrtheriy, close
to the wind. About a Mile nor.h oc Gull
island and somewhat over mile west of
the Alburgh shore, the sail received Il
back-fill which upset the boat ard threw
the party into the water Mrs HOicODb

from immediate drowning. The party
was secured after careful manaEcmment,
on the upper edge Of the boat which
sank on its side Il little over Two feet
under water where it was steadied by the
mast and sail resting on and near the sur
face, but only their heads were above
water. The accident was not noticed by
the party in Mr.. HIPS boat because
Messrs. Bell and Hocomb had rowe1 ior
some distance previously in preference to
making 4 tack, and when the sail was

AN IMPENDING EVIL.

h The Number Of Marriages.
| A social reformer. who is rs precise
In his statements of facts as he is expert
in the manipulation Of figures. reports
as the result of the investigation that
the number Of marriages is decreasing
every year. We have just cause for
alarm if the report il true. Certainly
the choice Of wife is subject full Of
piquant attraction to a romantic young
man who has sown his wild oats and is
saving his earnings and longs for the
comfort and slippered ease Of . home
OF his own. The difficulties Of court
ship. however, are perplcxing. arduous
and real. In Knickerbocker times the
knot was securely tied after bluff
proposal and the young married couple
were ready to start housekeeping with
barrel Of potatoes, blunterbuss and
family Bible. Then life was idyllic
and full Of romance and song. But
sempora n'utantar and they change for
the worse, in most respects. No longer
do the married pair flutter through
life on wings Of romance. The chief

feminine heart is so tickle withal. that
eligible young men feel morbidly shy

EARLY AvARlCE.

4 Vice which Once Planted In the Charac-
ter Grows with Incredible Rspidity.
The newspapers frequently contain
accounts of old men and women who
live in want while they are hoariin, !,
large sums Of money. Avarice is re-
pulsive vice of the aged, but in the
young it is against nature. Yet, if it
is once planted in a child's character.
it grows with incredible rapidity and
strength.
A young woman, the last scion Of u
respectable family, lived in one Of our
inland towns, supporting herself by
sewing. She occupied one bare cham
ber, in such poverty as to perplex her
friends. who knew that she had twice
inherited large legacies. She became
ill with an agonizing disease. brought
on. the physician said, by lack Of suffi-
cient food, and grew weaker. day by
day, until she could not leave her bed.
Her physician, knowing that she had
money hidden, spoke frankly to her at
last, telling her that her life depended
on her taking tonics and rich. nouri>h-
ing food. which her poor neighbors
could not buy. If you do not take
this food you will not live week. he
said. The girl remained thoughtful
and quiet when he was gone. After =
few hours she babe her nurses bring y
chest which was in the room near to her
bed 50 that she could reach it. The key
she kept under her pillow. As one day
after another passed, she would occ:.-
sion ally finger the key and look visit
fully at the chest; but she did not open
it. On the sixth day she died. In the
last struggle with death she held out
the key, motioning to her nurse to open
the chest. But it was too late. During
all those days she had weighed her gold
against her life. The money was the
iearer OF the two. Though she knew
she could not carry it with her. she
could not bring herself to spend a dol
lar of it.
A still more horrible example of the
.ffect Of avarice was reported in the
French journals last winter. An old
woman. living with her children. had
possession Of sum less than hundred
iollars. To force her to give it up,
hey literally burned her alive.
We all shudder at passion which
.an SO brutalize human beings. Yet
now many men are moved by it under
some other name. Here is wealthy
woman who ills every closet in her
house with costly china. at which she
never looks; or man who buys vast
tracts Of land which he neither culti-
rates nor sells. The sole use of either
money or goods in this world is to make
some living being wiser or better or
happier. The man who hindcrs this
purpose. to crafty his love Of boarding.
